getting scared

I'm due in 59 days and I'm starting to get scared, about the birth, about taking care of a baby, about breastfeeding, about money, about sleep, about will I be ready, about everything. Is this normal??? I'm 20 and this is my first and I'm the youngest in my family so I was never around babies, I just don't know what to do or say...

Nervous is normal for anyone but just remember to take 1 day at a time and that's all you can do. Don't stress it doesn't do any good for you or baby. Just relax and you will be fine. Every mom is a new mom in the beginning and everyone goes thru it

what you are feeling is very normal, I was 19 when i had my daughter so i was def feeling everything that you are. Being a mom is not easy but you will me fine. Luckily we are born to give birth and are blessed with maternal instincs, it may all seem like a lot now but once your little bundle arrives you will know exactly what to do. Nurses are there to help while in the hospital and can always answer questions and give you tips, family is also a good source of help! Congrats and best of luck!

I believe every woman and man will get scared about having a baby, especially right before the baby is born.  When I had my first baby I had just turned 23.  There were no other children in the famiy so this was all very new to me.  Once my Keenan was born, all of my motherly insticts kicked in.  I believe us as woman are born with them.  Everything is going to be fine.  

Good luck to you and your family!!!
